Scared and Alone

I'm scared and alone
I huddle in the corner
of my room
hoping it will be over soon
I wrap myself in a ball
and cry for hours
not quite knowing
what goes on
outside my door
I hear yelling, screaming, crashing.
I hear things breaking
I hear hitting
I feel fear
wondering if they'll come in my room
I tremble in fear with anticipation
Fearing her words and her guilt
I stay in the corner until it all ends
still afraid, wondering if it will start again
I cry myself to sleep
still afraid , wondering if it will start again.
The next day it happens again
and I think "Oh, God here we go again."
